Smoky spent all night on our doormat. We had taken the little kitten inside but when she didn’t leave I brought it back out and unwrapped the towel it was in and laid it down. She sniffed it, washed it’s little bottom and when it didn’t respond, she just sat down and looked at me. I wrapped it back up and she didn’t object. She stayed the night on the mat and left about 9am.
Poor mama cat. The baby made it through the winter. So sad.
So sad. I think she’s too old to nurse her kittens. There’s a tom cat somewhere in the area.
